Be heard with citizen journalism

Chris Gaynor

YET another citizen journalism website has been launched aimed at getting ordinary people's voices heard.

The site, BePolitics, is a one stop shop for those who are politcally minded and want to voice their opinions on the latest political stories of the moment.

BePolitics calls itself the 'home of citizen journalism,' and apparently, this is why.

On the website, it reads: "Tired of listening to the same old political commentators, journos and political hacks? So were we. Politics isn't just about the views of a select handful of individuals - it is about you and me, and even the dodgy  guy on the train sitting next to you."

It adds: "Gone are the days when you complain no-one will listen, because, BePolitics has the opportunity to reach, well, everyone."

Ofcourse, this growing website The-Latest, the UKs premier citizen journalism website has been shaping and sharing political opinion since 2006, and has a number of scoops since its infancy.

The site has even forced the sacking of a key aide of Boris Johnson, the new London mayor's senior aide, (see web details below to view.) 

Delegates will descend on Bedfordshire University this Autumn to discuss the future of journalism, and its role in the new media age.

The two day event will feature debates involving the future of news media, the new role played by citizen journalism and the roles played by governments, institutions in new media content.

Running from October 17 - 18, debates will feature key note speakers - with University staff, students, key delegates, yet to be confirmed.

Sharing opinions is what citizen journalism is all about. So, sign up to The-Latest and get your voice heard today.
